Senator Warner Leads Higher Education Round Table at TCC
Sen. Mark Warner speaks with TCC students and parents
Late last month, Senator Mark Warner visited TCC to discuss bipartisan legislation that would ensure a wide range of comparative data about higher education is available to prospective students and their families.
The legislation Warner, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced in May is known as the "Student Know Before You Go Act" and would streamline reporting requirements from educational institutions to give students and their families access to graduation rates, student loan debt and employment prospects by major.
Warner discussed the benefits of students using the Virginia Community College System and the benefits of a two-year degree. He gave an example of the marketability of industry certification in welding as opposed to a bachelor's in political science.
The Democratic senator from Virginia took part in a roundtable discussion with TCC students, Hampton Roads high school students, parents and administrators. During the 90-minute discussion, many of the students and parents expressed concern about paying for college, and while Warner admitted he didn't have all the answers, he noted the legislation as a good first step in helping students make informed decisions about their futures.
SDV 100 - College Success Skills For Veteran and Military Related Students
All students at TCC are required to take some form of SDV - student development, a one credit hour, college orientation class.
But if you're a military related student, consider registering for a special SDV 100 - College Success Skills for Veteran and Military Related Students.
The course will still provide the basic orientation information such as college policies, procedures and curricular offerings, effective study habits, career and academic planning and other college resources available to students. But the course will also cover additional resources available to military students including the Center for Military and Veterans Education Offices (CMVE), Vet Success, Educational Accessibility, Tutoring services, and more.
The course also gives an overview of VA benefits and how to best use your benefits during your college career, both inside and outside of the classroom.
See a CMVE academic adviser to register for this class for the spring 2014 semester.
TCC offers program that eases transition from military to civilian life.
Transitioning from military to civilian life can be overwhelming, but TCC's REBOOT program covers everything from education to employment to finances over a three week period.
The first TCC REBOOT class graduated on May 24 - the first of its kind offered on the East Coast.
Former Navy senior chief John Hand, left, and E-6 Keith McPherson
The REBOOT workshops are free, and the next session will be Sept. 9-27 at the Workforce Development Center in Suffolk. The workshops focus on three major categories: military-to-civilian personal training, military-to-civilian lifestyle transition and military-to-civilian career transition. During the first week, students illustrate detailed charts representing milestones in their life and priorities to help develop a vision for their futures.
Classes are open to active duty, veterans, reserves and spouses who are within three months of their separation; proof is required. Enrollment is available online. Students must attend all classes, which run from approximately 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
"This program is an opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of these people," said Bruce Brunson, executive director of TCC's Center for Military for Veterans Education. "It's taught by people who have been there and done that. They have the skill set in helping military make not only short term but long term decisions. The veterans in this class have identified that they need help. They understand the risk, and they're doing risk avoidance."
Dr. Brunson speaking to the first REBOOT class
Brunson has taught classes on managing finances and college planning where he gives practical information about making choices in these areas that will lead to gainful employment. He discusses fields with plentiful jobs - ranging from matrix logistics to petroleum engineering, urging students to research fields carefully before deciding on a major and career path.
"It was very enlightening," said former Navy chief
Russ Darnell, one of 10 graduates impressed by the scope of the program. "The Navy is very structured. This breaks it down and allows us to know we have more control, and we're capable of managing our own goals."
Launched by the National Veterans Transition Services, Inc., the REBOOT workshops initially were implemented in San Diego. More than 700 service members have graduated since 2010, and the program boasts a 98.2 percent success rate, meaning graduates either gain employment or enter an educational institution.
"This program is all about shutting the machine down and rebooting to a new way of thinking," said REBOOT coordinator Michael Tsikouris. "This is diving into the deep end of the pool. It shows you options you might not have considered before.
Contact the CMVE for more information about how to enroll in the next REBOOT class at 757-822-7777.
Meet Deena Merrill . . .
Project Coordinator and Instructor, CMVE
Denna Merrill, with husband Jonathan
Deena Merrill will be working specifically with military spouses and dependents and she has the background to do this job with understanding and skill.
What is your background with the military?
I grew up in Pensacola, Florida -- which has a large US Navy presence. After finishing my Masters in Public Policy at Regent University, I married into the military community -- and moved immediately to Japan where my husband was stationed in the US Air Force at Yokota Air Base. After 3 years being an Air Force spouse, my husband switched to the Army and I became an Army spouse. My husband retires from the military on Aug 31. My husband began his military career as enlisted, then switched to officer. He has also done reserve duty, and served as active duty in both the Air Force and Army, for a total of 17 years of service.
What were the challenges of being involved in the military while creating your career that make you sensitive to what students within the CMVE may be going through?
As a dependent of active duty service member, I've been through 6 moves in 10 years. I have also been through two deployments, each exceeding a year, for a total of 30 months.
When we were stationed in Japan, I networked in the spouses club, and found a volunteer position in the Protocol Office for United States Forces Japan Headquarters. The volunteer position at the Protocol Office led to a full-time paid position as executive secretary for the legal office at headquarters (JAG).
I have been stationed at assignments with him in very small towns like Leesville, LA (Ft. Polk) and St. Robert, MO (Ft. Leonard Wood). We were only stationed in Missouri for 6 months, and I had a newborn baby - which limited my employment options, but I still got involved and took Army Family Team Building courses to stay active and engaged in the military community. Army Family Team Building is a series of training modules taught through your local Army Community Service or Family Program's office that cover topics such as basic information about the Army, personal growth skills and leadership skills. AFTB improves personal and Family preparedness which enhances overall Army readiness and helps America's Army adapt to a changing world.
While we were at Fort Polk, Louisiana, I had another baby and my husband deployed. Again, I wasn't able to take any full-time or outside jobs at this time, but I did eventually serve as the volunteer Family Readiness Group Leader for the company for which my husband was commander at the time, which served between 150-200 soldiers and families.
While at Fort Hood, Tx, our most recent assignment, I enrolled my kids in karate classes -- then I enrolled myself! This led to me taking on a part-time position as marketing director for the school, and later assistant instructor as well. I still work for the school in an advisory and online marking capacity, even though I am no longer able to provide any on-site/on-location support due to out-of-state move.
What brought you to TCC?
I came to the Virginia Beach area because of my husband pursing graduate school upon retirement. I sought employment with the Center for Military & Veteran Affairs because of my passion for supporting military families and the education environment.
What kind of projects will you be working on in your new position?
I will be working on projects that support military spouses who are current TCC students. I will also be working on employment coordination.
What kind of students should be coming to you for assistance?
Spouses who are seeking continuing education or academic development.
What do you like about working with the military population?
I like working with the military population because it's a lifestyle I know personally, and have walked through many of the challenges and demands associated with the that life. I've appreciated all those who've supported me along the way, and welcome the opportunity to share some of that support with others.
What are you most excited about with your new job?
Being in a position to serve the military community in general, and specifically, military spouses.
